SUMMARY:El Teatro Campesino (1965-1975)
DESCRIPTION:photo by Mimi Plumb (1975)\n \n[gallery columns="4" ids="9339\,9346\,9342\,9340\,9343\,9344\,9347\,9341"]\n\nEl Teatro Campesino (1965-1975)\n LACE Storefront\n\n Opening Reception: June 28\, 2017 8-10PM\n Exhibition Dates: June 29 - August 13\, 2017\n\nCurated by Daniela Lieja Quintanar and Samantha Gregg\n\n(Abajo versión en español)\n\n \n\nEl Teatro Campesino (1965-1975)\n\nIn 1965\, El Teatro Campesino was founded in California on the picket lines of the Delano Grape Strike. At first operating as a cultural subdivision of the United Farm Workers\, this impromptu troupe of agricultural laborers began performing their own critical actos (one-act plays) to regional migrant workers and their families on flatbed trucks\, at public rallies\, and in union halls. In pursuit of a revolutionary form of theater\, they employed satire\, humor\, improvisation\, and participation with limited financial resources and an aesthetic that reflected the sociopolitical urgency of the times.\n\nThis exhibition is the first to locate El Teatro Campesino within the context of contemporary art and the lineage of social practice. Acting from the position of an in-depth case study\, this project examines the many contributions of the collective in their first decade of work through a series of thematic focuses\, including the use of family structure\, rascuache aesthetics\, and radical forms of theater. Ultimately\, the work of El Teatro is as much a response to the Chicano movement as it is to the ability of performance to catalyze empathy in the contemporary world.\n\nEl Teatro Campesino (1965-1975)\n\nEl Teatro Campesino fue fundado en 1965 en los piquetes de la “Huelga de las uvas” en Delano\, California. Primero trabajaron como subdivisión cultural del Sindicato de Trabajadores Campesinos (UFW\, United Farm Workers). Esta compañía de teatro\, compuesta por trabajadores agrícolas\, realizó sus propios actos (una obra corta) críticos frente a trabajadores migrantes regionales y sus familias. Actuaban en la parte trasera de camionetas\, manifestaciones y auditorios de sindicatos. En la búsqueda de una forma de teatro revolucionario\, utilizaron sátira\, humor\, improvisación y la participación del público\, con escasos recursos financieros\, y una estética que reflejaba la urgencia sociopolítica de la época.\n\nEstá es la primera exposición en que El Teatro Campesino es ubicado en un contexto de arte contemporáneo\, así como en la categoría del arte de interacción social. A partir de un análisis exhaustivo este proyecto explora la primera década de trabajo de El Teatro a través de una serie de ejes temáticos como\, el uso de la estructura familiar\, la estética rascuache\, y formas radicales de hacer teatro. En última instancia\, el trabajo de El Teatro es tanto una respuesta al movimiento chicano\, como una muestra de la capacidad de hacer teatro para catalizar empatía en el mundo contemporáneo.\n\nSUPPORT\n\nAdditional support for El Teatro Campesino (1965-1975) is provided by Mary and Armando Duron. Special thanks to El Teatro Campesino\, Southern California Library\, Diane Rodriguez\, Jorge Huerta\, University of California\, Santa Barbara\, and The Los Angeles Theatre Center.

SUMMARY:Jimena Sarno: home away from
DESCRIPTION:home away from\nLACE Summer Residency with Jimena Sarno\nPreview Reception: June 28\, 2017 8-10PM\nExhibition Dates: July 1 - August 13\, 2017\n\nCurated by Daniela Lieja Quintanar\n\nhome away from addresses experiences of borders\, displacement\, and immigration procedures as they manifest in the everyday lives of immigrants\, through an immersive installation in the main gallery at LACE.\n\nJimena Sarno has created\, designed\, and built home away from during her summer residency. The installation occupies the entire main gallery with a permeable wooden structure — with a single entrance and circumventable from outside — that filters light through its gaps and produces oscillating shadows. Two video projections depicting details of self portraits by immigrant youth shelter the central structure.\n\nSarno’s project is inspired by Hollywood flats\, used as backdrops in film and scenic design\, laths\, wooden strips that were traditionally used to construct interior walls in domestic architecture\, and borders’ holding areas\, where people are enclosed\, while being processed to access another country. The video is composed of remnants of self-ideal portraits of the artist’s middle school students; the outline of these figures are used to create maps\, revealing specific features through the rhythm of a white\, linear light accompanied by the digitally processed sound of a scanner and healing frequencies.\n\nThe sequence of the words “home away from home away from home away from” spins around the impossibilities of establishing a new space for living\, or even returning to an origin as the individual is constantly disciplined\, banned\, and interrupted in their desires and their pursuits.\n\nThe space will be activated throughout the exhibition with a series of artists’ collaborations: performances\, interventions\, and workshops\, as a call for self-determination to challenge and disrupt the structures that define our paths.\n\nCollaborations\n\nThroughout the duration of the exhibition:\n\nVideo\n\nArts integration program and Students from Belvedere middle school-East LA. 2017 Class of Ms. Escalante\, Ms. Adewale\, Ms. Macías\, Mr. Acosta\, Mr. Conde and Ms. Flores (ESL and 6 to 8 Grades).\n\nThe scent H.O.M.E. \n\nJenny Qaqundah\, Palestinian herbalist\, has prepared a grounding scent with hints of citrus to uplift the spirit. The plants that she gathered for this therapeutic formula are vetiver\, dalmatian\, sage\, dark patchouli\, rosemary\, cedar\, nutmeg\, bergamot and lemon. The blend has hints of her Arab home.\n\nProgramming:\n\nJune 28\, 8:30pm: C3LA Choir – LA-based choral collective performance\n\nJuly 12 Sculptural intervention by Niloufar Emamifar\n\nNiloufar Emamifar began the series Penumbra in the streets of Los Angeles in late 2016 in search of what she called "seams\," spaces between two buildings\, negative gaps that brought questions of property\, real estate and in between boundaries. With a molding grey plastic technique Emamifar has casted a dark space between two edifices in the area of east Los Angeles and the sculpture is integrated to home away from.\n\nNiloufar Emamifar is a multi-media artist currently living and working in Los Angeles. Her recent works go towards figuring out how social subjects act within certain signs of power and privacy within predetermined and indeterminate urban tropes. She's a MFA candidate at University of California\, Irvine and holds her BFA from Soore Faculty of Architecture.\n\nJuly 12\, 7pm: Performance and sculptural intervention by Nooshin Rostami\nAs Far As There Was Water Was All It Was is an embodiment of the artist’s journey as an immigrant experiencing exile. Throughout the performance a border is fragmented into its composing triangles and gradually moved by the artist and the participating audience to the other side of the gallery. The shapes of the triangles reflect the negative spaces in the support structures of Jimena Sarno’s main installation at the gallery\, and are initially arranged as a straight borderline in front of the main entrance to the installation. The participants are only allowed to move the triangles by rolling them on their sides\, and without stacking them up\, creating a constantly changing puzzle of voids and shadows. When the triangles reach the destination they may be placed against the back wall of the gallery in any position the participant decides. The performance is over when all the triangles have been displaced and put together at the end of the gallery. This performance-installation is part of Nooshin Rostami’s Geometry of Exile performance series.\n*The title has been translated and selected from the following poem by Maria Tabrizipoor:\nتا بود، آب بود و آب، آبی بود و دوار بود. تمامش بازی بود، آب‌بازی بود.\n \nAs far as there was water was all it was.\nIt was whirling blue it was.\nAll a game playing water it was.\nNooshin Rostami is a New York-based interdisciplinary artist and educator. She was born in Shahroud and raised in Tehran\, Iran. Rostami received her MFA from Brooklyn College (CUNY) in 2011. She has widely exhibited and presented her work in solo and group settings in the United States\, Iran\, India\, Italy\, Spain\, Germany\, Austria\, and Canada. Rostami’s work has been featured in a number of publications such as Baumtestquarterly\, Jadaliyya and Ajam Media Collective. Her research interests pertain to politics of geography\, identity\, and gender. In her work\, she embodies themes often inspired by personal narratives through mediums of performance\, installation\, sculpture\, drawing\, and painting. Rostami currently lives and works in Brooklyn\, N Y.\n\nUpcoming dates in July: Afternoon immigrant youth writing workshop\n\nUpcoming dates in July: “Se habla español” event\, walkthrough with artists and curators in a bilingual space Spanish/English\n\nAugust 13\, 6pm: Closing event: Listening party with live sound by Jimena Sarno and artists\, Cay Castagnetto and Arshia Haq\, in collaboration with VOLUME. Launch of home away from publication printed by Tiny Splendor with an essay by Manuel Shvartzberg and texts and images by invited writers\, artists and writing workshop participants.\n\nJimena Sarno is a multidisciplinary artist and organizer. She works across a range of media including installation\, sound\, video\, text and sculpture. Born in Buenos Aires\, Argentina and currently living in Los Angeles\, her experience as a South American immigrant informs her practice. She is the organizer of analog dissident\, a monthly discussion gathering that features two invited artists and encourages intersectional approaches and critical engagement outside of traditional art institutions. Her work has been exhibited at LACE\, PØST\, Human Resources\, UCI Contemporary Art Center\, Control Room\, Fellows of Contemporary Art and Grand Central Art Center among others. She is the recipient of the 2015 California Community Foundation Fellowship for Visual Artists.\n\nAlways stemming from personal experience\, her work takes shape as installations where she builds\, rearranges and re-contextualizes objects\, images\, sound and found text into constellations of new relationships. Through the material process of building objects and environments\, she retraces the practical and aesthetic considerations of systems of control—from the increasing abstraction of preemptive warfare\, mainstream media distortion and every day corporate and government tracking to the idea of the good citizen and the criminalization of dissent.\n\nSUPPORT\n\nSupport for home away from is provided by the California Arts Council\, the Department of Cultural Affairs\, and the Visual Artists Network\, a program of the National Performance Network.\n\n \n\n

SUMMARY:Se Habla Español
DESCRIPTION:(English version below)\nSe habla español es la nueva iniciativa de LACE para conectar con audiencias que se relacionan culturalmente con el español\, idioma muy común en Los Ángeles. Se habla español es un esfuerzo para crear espacios temporales multilingüísticos a través de acciones específicas como visitas guiadas\, talleres\, textos de exposiciones traducidos y prácticas artísticas que exploran cuestiones sobre el lenguaje. Con este proyecto LACE cuestiona el sistema monolingüístico que la mayoría de las instituciones de arte usan en sus espacios\, provocando así una conversación crítica que diversifique la forma en la que nos aproximamos al arte.\nLACE ha facilitado espacios multilingüísiticos a lo largo de su trayectoria expositiva – La retrospectiva bilingüe de Ana Mendieta en 1989; BAW/TAF el Taller de Arte Fronterizo en 1991\, documentando siete años de proyectos artísticos interdisciplinares sobre asuntos entre México y Estados Unidos; y más recientemente\, Customizing Language\, que examinó cómo el lenguaje refleja realidades geopolíticas. Siguiendo esta trayectoria\, Se habla español tiene el objetivo de establecer un contenido bilingüe continuo y accesible.\nSe habla español tiene sus raíces en el concepto de justicia del lenguaje que reconoce la implicación cultural de preservar diferentes idiomas y de resistir la supremacía de un lenguaje sobre el resto.\nVisitas guiadas en español\, cada jueves y domingo bajo solicitud (12-6PM)\nEventos\nDomingo\, julio 30 1-3PM: Se habla espanol presenta El Teatro Campesino (1965-1975) charla con Diane Rodriguez e invitados especiales\nAgosto 1 y 2\, 2-5PM: Taller de escrito para jóvenes facilitado por Jessica Ceballos y Jimena Sarno.\nSe habla español es apoyado por the California Arts Council.\nEnglish version\nSe habla español is a new initiative to bridge a gap between LACE and audiences that have cultural relationships to Spanish\, a common language in Los Angeles. Se habla español is a commitment to create temporary multilingual spaces at LACE through specific actions such as walk-throughs\, workshops\, translated exhibition texts\, and art practices exploring issues of language. LACE intends to challenge a monolingual system operating in art institutions\, provoking a critical conversation that diversifies points of view around art.\nLACE has facilitated multilingual spaces through its exhibition history — Ana Mendieta’s bilingual retrospective in 1989\, BAW/TAF Border Art Workshop in 1991\, documenting seven years of interdisciplinary art projects surrounding issues between Mexico and U.S.\, and more recently\, Customizing Language\, examining how language reflects geopolitical realities. Continuing (in) this history\, Se habla español aims to establish sustainable\, bilingual content and accessibility.\nSe habla español is rooted in the concept of language justice that recognizes cultural implications of preserving diverse idioms and resisting the dominance of one language over others.\nBilingual exhibition tours are offered Thursdays and Sundays upon request (12-6PM)\nEvents\nSunday\, July 30\, 1-3PM: Se habla español presents El Teatro Campesino (1965-1975) talk with Diane Rodriguez and friends\nAugust 1 and 2\, 2-5PM: Afternoon immigrant youth writing workshop facilitated by writer Jessica Ceballos and Jimena Sarno\nSupport for Se habla español is provided by the California Arts Council.\n
